Digital Magic
I can stop time.
The shutter opens
Light burns into silicon
The memory lives

Just a few words about the other thing I love to do. Thanks for reading!
About the image: "Cold Moon" is a single exposure, shot during one of the brightest full moons I've witnessed as it shone through the branches of the redwoods in Northern California.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.

I love the concept of the photo as a living memory 😁
Ooh, I love this one. I have a terrible memory so I often take pictures to do the remembering for me!
Nice job
Clever and wonderfully descriptive. Well done!
